Mike, much as I love you I promise that you have not yet figured in my dreams.<BR/><BR/>But it's your expression, under what circumstances did you come up with it? I'll grovel in appropriately humble apology but I can't have made up the whole thing, because you used 'meerkat' as a verb only the other day.<BR/><BR/>I did try to find it in your archives yesterday without success, so I haven't a leg to stand on.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-32477425525448566972008-08-21T23:36:00.000+01:002008-08-21T23:36:00.000+01:00Hang on, what film is this?!

It was a while ago, sometime last year I think. I've been using the expression all day and getting away with it. <BR/><BR/>I think I danced like a particularly elegant and well dressed warthog. But a very bouncy warthog.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-68853147213817662008-08-21T20:36:00.000+01:002008-08-21T20:36:00.000+01:00Dancing like a meerkat- that's a great expression,...Dancing like a meerkat- that's a great expression, and not one I have noticed when reading Mike's gig reviews. I'll have to start taking more notice. Personally, my animal of choice to imitate when on the dance floor would tend to be the penguin, however much I fondly imagine something more lithe such as a Gazelle. Come to think of it, Charlotte once commented (during a heated debate over my limited interpretation of Brazilian salsa) that I danced like 'a wet radish'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-75804403428670746012008-08-21T18:40:00.000+01:002008-08-21T18:40:00.000+01:00The last time I let go in such a way was seven and...The last time I let go in such a way was seven and a half years ago, at another wedding, this time in Madras (which I should call Chennai but it hasn't quite caught on over here as Mumbai has, so some of you wouldn't know where I meant). On that occasion it was also a social obligation as my sister and I were the only English guests - there were three American ones too.<BR/><BR/>The DJs were very good and the music was a blend of Indian and Western. Skilfully done, you'd have appreciated it, Mike. <BR/><BR/>Dave, it's not what I do either. But once in a while it's good to do what you don't normally. Stretches the brain, broadens the mind, and is fun. And I so enjoyed going a bit mad. <BR/><BR/>Deepa's sister Kavitha (hers was the second Chennai wedding, 4 1/2 years ago) was there of course, with her little girl who is 14 months old. She was so adorable. I thought of you and Ishaan. If you don't come to England, I must come to Delhi!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-4188931187754606062008-08-21T16:57:00.000+01:002008-08-21T16:57:00.000+01:00Lovely, I'm sure, for those who like that sort of ...Lovely, I'm sure, for those who like that sort of thing.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-80455052047279934732008-08-21T12:37:00.000+01:002008-08-21T12:37:00.000+01:00Wedding celebrations are just the BEST for dancing...Wedding celebrations are just the BEST for dancing, aren't they?

Everyone had fun. I also think it's great that they are not compromising with a registry office but having full religious ceremonies for both faiths and entering into both whole-heartedly, since at least some members of both families are committed believers.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-28793845149565788652008-08-21T08:07:00.000+01:002008-08-21T08:07:00.000+01:00I have been to a couple of Asian weddings and a Gr...I have been to a couple of Asian weddings and a Greek one, all seem a lot more fun than an English one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-60546076255176035352008-08-21T06:07:00.000+01:002008-08-21T06:07:00.000+01:00Color me jealous again.
